My boyfriend lives about 8 hours from me and we can only see each other when I have enough money to make the drive as he doesn't have a driver's license, it always sucks whenever he has to go back home, but he's been asking how I'd feel if he moved in with me. For context we both still live with our parents, his mother is okay with him moving and my parents don't mind either. But we've only been dating for around 7 months, before I met him, I loved being alone and having my own space and while I absolutely love spending time with him, I still would like my own space. He'd be moving in with me and my family and moving into my room with me, he'd be there all the time.
I don't want anyone to think that I don't love him, it's just I think this is a big step right? I'm his first girlfriend and my past relationships haven't been the most healthy, I'm looking for some advice as to how to approach this and what all I need to think about. We'd both be working and saving up to get our own place, but I just need some insight and advice from others who have been in this situation.
